Former President Donald Trump holds a 47-point lead in the Republican presidential primary race for his largest cushion since Emerson College Polling began tracking in June 2022.
Trump received 59% support, a 9-point increase from August, in the September Emerson College Polling national survey.
"The Trump voter remains resilient, and despite a dip in August's post-debate poll, Trump has now expanded his lead and has improved his position from before the first debate," said Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis received 12%, the only other GOP candidate in double figures.
Trump and DeSantis were followed by businessman Vivek Ramaswamy (7%), former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (5%), former Vice President Mike Pence (5%), former U.N. Ambassador and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (3%) and Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., (2%). Five percent were undecided.
Overall, 63% of Republican primary voters say they definitely will support their chosen candidate, while 36% say there's a chance they could change their mind and vote for someone else.
"Seventy-five percent of Trump voters say they will definitely support him in the Republican primary, up four points since the August survey, while 42% say the same of Ron DeSantis — a significant hardening among supporters of DeSantis since August, when 25% said the same," said Matt Taglia, senior director at Emerson College Polling.
President Joe Biden's approval rating (41%) fell 2 percentage points in a month, and his disapproval rating (47%) remained the same.
A total of 62% of Democrat primary voters say they plan to support the president for reelection; 14% support Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and 4% support author Marianne Williamson, 21% are undecided.
Trump and Biden are tied, each with 45% support, in a potential rematch of the 2020 general election. Ten percent of voters say they are undecided.

What makes you think he is even going to be on the ballot, after the dimwits AGs run him through the court system
One step closer to putting Trump behind bars. They’re attempting to muzzle him and wait for that one mistake. With Trump, that mistake will happen. He can’t help himself.
What is going to happen after the jury says guilty on all counts?
Trump’s 2020 was a disaster. Greatest economic disaster since the 30’s. He can’t duck that and it cost him 2020. If he gets potus again he will be on TV daily fighting the media. It’ll be a constant vendetta with him self in center. Would I like to see the left eat it? Sure. But it’ll be an ugly ugly war in the end
Is that what your chinese masters ordered you to say here today?
“He can’t duck that and it cost him 2020.”
So, you actually believe that Biden got 81 million votes.
“If he gets potus again he will be on TV daily fighting the media.”
At least he fights. And when an enemy attacks, in your estimation, it is crude and wrong to fight back.
“It’ll be a constant vendetta with him self in center.”
A bull’s eye is always in the center.
Your belief that Biden got 81 million votes sure exposes your inability to analyze.
My Chinese masters told me to eat more won ton, nothing about Trump today.
I belive Biden beat him. Biden had the leads in the polls too. Sorry.
2020 was very good year for all my relatives and friends. Inflation was low, jobs were plenty, mortgage rates were less than 3%. My daughter and her husband bought a million dollar house in 2020 with 2.7% 30 year mortgage.
May be your personal economy was bad in 2020. Most Americans never had it so good.
I was laughing my way to the bank as well. But. For those less unlikely than us, it was a nightmare. I’m incredibly wealthy. But this record is bad.
Unemployment rate rises to record high 14.7 percent in April 2020
May 13, 2020
The unemployment rate in April 2020 increased by 10.3 percentage points to 14.7 percent. This is the highest rate and the largest over-the-month increase in the history of the data (available back to January 1948
I agree with Tilapiafish2.
Yes, 81 million votes was inflated.
But all vote numbers were higher in 2020.
Trump received more votes in 2020 than any republican president before him. More votes than Reagan in 1984!
Reasons Biden beat Trump were:
1. Biden pretended to be moderate democrat.
2. People thought economy will continue great without mean tweets.
3. Biden played it smart. He hid in basement wearing burqa. Voters construed that as he was taking covid more seriously.
4. Seniors were petrified of covid. When Trump said in spring 2020 that this covid was just another flu and will die away when warm summer weather arrives, Trump lost many senior votes.
5. Voter fraud was easier in 2020 with mail in ballots.
6. Margin of Biden victories in purple states was small. If senior voters were smarter, he could have overcome margin of fraud.
I don’t think any incumbent could’ve won 2020 with covid. Had Hillary won 2016 anyone running against her in 2020 would’ve won.
2019 trump was a sure thing. 9 months later he had no chance. Americans ae fickle voters. They also really get tired of overplayed media fatigue.
Trump would be so media fatueting again.. The. Biden policy of sit back, let his enemy destroy himself and win worked.
“I belive Biden beat him. Biden had the leads in the polls too. Sorry.”
You must not have seen the Ken Paxton interview, where he explained the reason those five battleground states stopped counting simultaneously was to determne what the real vote was and how many fraudulent mail-in votes had to be added.
But people like you defeat logic everytime.
And you cite the MSM polls to back up you claim?
Wow!!!
Reasons Biden beat Trump were:
1. Biden pretended to be moderate democrat.
No, he did not. Said he would flood the border, get rid of oil, shut down coal, etc. Nothing moderate at all in that.
2. People thought economy will continue great without mean tweets.
The mean tweet thing is a joke by Trump supporters you evidently took seriously.
3. Biden played it smart. He hid in basement wearing burqa. Voters construed that as he was taking covid more seriously.
To say that Biden played it smart is beyond responding to.
4. Seniors were petrified of covid. When Trump said in spring 2020 that this covid was just another flu and will die away when warm summer weather arrives, Trump lost many senior votes.
That Trump lost many senior votes over covid is something you pulled straight out of your ass. And Trump was basically right about it being a flu. During flu outbreak, it normally kills about 400 people a day, according to the poster in the clinic that I went to.
5. Voter fraud was easier in 2020 with mail in ballots.
You finally got one right.
6. Margin of Biden victories in purple states was small. If senior voters were smarter, he could have overcome margin of fraud.
Still leaning on the senior vote, which no one has ever heard factored in as pertaining to vote total.
Haha I am a senior and living in a huge condo complex got to know 100’s of seniors personally. I think I have a better handle on what seniors are doing than most.
You can't even manage simple syntax, old woman.
